Jasenov municipality flag

Village Jasenov was founded under a castle with the same name. History
of village has began to be written since the year 1279, when it was developed
from extramural settlement of the castle Jasenov which was probably possessed
by the Pethénys. Some historians say, that opinion of Gy. Dudás does not
contain any historical basis, that the castle has been already owned by
aristocrats from Michalovce in the year 1279. The first written mention
is from 1451. To the last third of the 17th century it was owned by the
Drugeths, in following years was occupied by several families. According
to preserved written annals Jasenov belongs to the oldest villages in the
district Humenné and was founded following common law. Village was developed
as subjective village belonging at first to the Jasenov castle county and
later to the Humenné county.
